The purpose of the Community Service Center is to act as a liaison and facilitator for community service opportunities between local agencies and the college community. The Center helps students looking for volunteer opportunities with their interests or career goals in mind find a local agency best suited for them. We remain in correspondence with local agencies keeping informed of their work and what type of student would best fit their needs.

Community service is an integral part of the Lycoming College experience. The Freshman Experience through the FYRST Program involves incoming students in selected community service opportunities throughout the fall semester. Service organizations on campus such as Habitat for Humanity, Circle K, Colleges against Cancer, L.A.C.E.S., and Lyco Buddies, and provide a wide variety of service programs in addition to over 90 non-profit community based agencies.
